This
two-seat trainer has been through a restoration that was finished in 2003 (
Paint issue below). A FAA certified inspector (IA) observed the entire
restoration process.

The following repairs were accomplished:

AIRFRAME

This
aircraft came from Canada and was used during WW II as a trainer. It was based
in mid Canada and we have some of the military history including the sale
documents signed by the plant test pilot and the receiving officer from the RCAF.

·TT Airframe 599

·Aircraft was
dissembled and most metal parts were painted with epoxy undercoat,

·Wood parts were
coated with epoxy varnish,

·Aircraft was
covered using the Poly Fiber process.

POWER PLANT

·484 TT and 116
TSMOH. Crankshaft, connecting rods etc. were sent out for magnaflux testing. The
engine was reassembled using an approved overhaul kit. It is a strong engine and
uses the normal amount of oil expected from a Ranger engine.

·Sensenich Wood
Propeller is in airworthy condition.

MISCELLANEOUS

·Intercom,

·VAL Comm Radio

·New seats cushions,

·Strobe light,

·New window glass,

·ELT,

·New battery,

·New tires.

The aircraft
has flown regularly since restoration and is a very solid flying machine.

Computer
CD's with most engineering drawings, parts book, maintenance books and pilot
flight manuals are included with the aircraft.

The aircraft
could use an additional coat of paint and the insignia for the RCAF. The truth
is that we became excited and wanted to fly the aircraft before the final coat
of paint. The paint is reasonably good but a final coat would make the aircraft
first class. There are a few minor items that could be done. The aircraft is
priced based on the current condition. This winter, if the aircraft is not sold
we will probably put on that final coat of paint and re-price the aircraft.
